Facebook says an anti-spam bug that mistakenly flagged legitimate news stories has been fixed.
A bug in its News Feed prevented URLs from legitimate sources such as USA Today and BuzzFeed from being shared as posts or comments Tuesday. Many Facebook FB, +2.33% members like Lana Rushing, who runs a public-relations company in Los Angeles, said she received a warning from Facebook after attempting to share news posts on the pandemic from USA Today and NBC’s Today Show.
The notifications referred to posts previously shared with Rushing’s network of Facebook friends, she said. This marks the first time Rushing said she was warned of violating the social network’s community standards on spam in the 13 years she’s been a member.
